Obstruction of the intestine (ileus) due to overly thick
meconium, the dark sticky stuff that is normally present in the intestine at birth
and, after trypsin and other enzymes from the pancreas have acted on it, is normally
passed in the feces after birth. Meconium ileus results from a deficiency of trypsin
and other digestive enzymes from the pancreas, as in cystic fibrosis (fibrocystic
disease of the pancreas, mucoviscidosis).
